UCC CHANGES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2001:

July 1, 2001, the Kansas law concerning UCC filings changed. Senate Bill 366:Revised Article 9 went into effect. The new statute is KSA-84-9-101 et seq. Under Revision Article 9, financing statements covering consumer goods will be filed in the office of the Secretary of State.

As a result of this change only financing statements covering fixtures, timber to be cut, and as-extracted oil, gas, and other mineral are filed with the Register of Deeds in the county where the land is located. All other financing statements will be filed at the office of the Secretary of State

To be perfected you should file all financing statements, except for fixture filings pertaining to real estate, with the Secretary of State's office and not with the Register of Deeds. If you send the UCC to a Register of Deeds Office with the correct filing fee, it will be filed with no questions asked. The new law makes it the responsibility of the secured party to be perfected or secured. The Register of Deeds Office can only reject for a few reasons, and a wrong place of filing is not one of them. If consumer goods are sent to counties for filing instead of the Secretary of State's office, the filing will not be rejected.

Please seek legal advice or try to obtain a copy of the Revised Article 9, which may be found on the Secretary of State's web site. Go to the Links & Forms link on the Register of Deeds site to go to the Secretary of States UCC division for national forms and information on filing. There are many new definitions, forms, and procedures. You MUST use the new forms beginning July 1, 2001, whether you are filing locally or with the Secretary of State. In order to file a fixture filing, you still need the record owner's name and complete legal description.
